In the paint and behind the arc, CSU’s basketball team got it done from all areas of the floor Tuesday night.
The Rams (15-13, 7-8 MW) won on the inside in the first half, and stroked jumpers in the second half en route to an 86-69 rout of New Mexico (16-12, 9-6 MW) in front of 3,148 fans in Moby Arena and a national TV audience watching on CBS Sports.
CSU big men Tiel Daniels and Emmanuel Omogbo were too much to handle in the first frame for UNM’s front line, despite both of them giving up several inches to Lobos center Obij Aget.
